AN END IlUN BY THE HALFBACK.
Foot Ball at Nebraska
State University
Each successive year adds to the develop-
inont of the great collese game of foot ball ,
and this Improvement Is no more noticeable
In the east than In the west. Under the
guidance of experienced men from the big
eastern tennis the standard of excellence
has boon raised In the western Htatcs to a
degree limited only by the ability of the
players themselves. Nebraska university
has been especially fortunate during the last
four years In securing ns coaches men of
ununual pblllty. and while their methods
differed greatly they were successful In ob-
tabling the dewlred results.
This year the 'varsity team will depend
entirely upon straight , hard foot ball. In

respect there will bo a decided change
Ftho playing of the team. Coach Edwin
fanch has made a study of foot ball from
( scientific and theoretical standpoint anil
already demonstrated hie ability to put
fs Ideas Into practical use. The team rep
resenting i the State university was severely
handicapped 1 this year. Most of the ma
terial I was green at the beginning of the
season. t All of the candidates lacked beef
and they were slow In coming out for prac
tice. |
tice.The
The coach of the Nebraska team ban had
extensive ( experience In foot ball. After
playing | a year with the Phillips Andover
college i ho entered Williams college and at
once , secured n position on the foot ball
team i , playing loft halfback for three suc
cessive ( seasons , the last one as captain.
Ho ; was also at Harvard one year , but waa
prevented , from playing by his college work.
Coach i Branch has won the confidence of his
men nnd so far has had excellent success
with the team.
Nebraska will depend largely upon good
team work and will not rely upon unusual
strength In one direction to make amends
for real weaknws In another. The lout
Boason of foot ball has furnished evidence
to prove that a strong line Is not all that
Is sufficient to success. Nebraska's line Is
a little weak , but efforts ere being madp
to strengthen It and the prospects for n
good all 'round team are considered good.

freights to the Philippines and will allow
our goods to go to Asia at a much less coot. '
"What I would like to know , Mr. Score
tnry , " said I , "Is how this Is going to help
the American farmer ? "
"It will help him all around , It will help
him In his homo market. It will glvo Inwl
ness to the factories and the men who work
In the factories will have to live. They llv
off the farming. Our market In the bet *
market In the world nnd our farmers ar
now In goad condition because times ar
good. Tiny are getting high prices for wha
they sell and they arc happy. Why , today
beef Is bringing t ! cents a pound on foot
pp-k nnd mutton are proportionately blgl
and horses are double what they were a
year ago and everything that la offered fo
sale has a purchaser. I have been all eve
the United States during the present year
nnd I don't think the farmers wore over In
bolter condition. The Increased trade
ivhlch we nrr > having abroad means nn In
creased demand for nil farmer supplies. It
means money for nil of us and especially for
ho tiller of the soil. Wo want to continue
this condition and that Is what the Agricul
ture department Is trying to do. It Is our
business to show the farmer how ho can get
the most for his work nnd the most out of
his land. Ho Is the man wo nro trying to
iclp. I mean the fellow who works In the
field with his coat off. "
Cnlilc I" Culm.
'Is the department doing anything as to
sending cattle to Cuba and Porto Rico , Mr.
Secretary ? "
"Not much now , " was the reply. "We
can't do anything until we pet money from
congress. Tlio government has authorized
the importation of no.OOO cattle of our boat
breeds Into Cuba without paying tariff.
These , I suppose , will bo shipped. Porto
Rico might get the same If It wanted it ,
I venture. There Is danger In sending cattle -
tlo to the West Indies. The animals there
have the fever tick and cattle that have
not been accustomed to this disease are
liable to get sick and die. Wo have had
the disease In Texas and I suppose Im
proved cattle will be eent from there. It
seem rather strange to some of our people
to think of fine cattle belnr ; raised In such
hot lands as the West Indies. The fact is
that Porto Rico has magnificent stock. 1
have seen pictures of the animals and they
arc as line as any raised In this country.
It is sold that they were originally Imported
from Spain. The animals are large , big-
boned and as clean-cut as a Jersey. "
"I suppose you will establish experiment
stations on the various Islands , Mr. Sec
retary ? "
"Wo are going to a k an appropriation
from congress for the purpose , " was the
reply. "I have no doubt we can do a great
deal of good. We should have experiment
fitntlnns In Cuba. Hawaii and the Philip
pines. So far , wo haven't even a station In
Hawaii. We should begin work In Porto
Rico at once. We want to study the cof
fee plants. Wt- have them , of course , h
our green houses here , but our work shouli
be done on the ground. Java , you know
le one of the greatest coffee countries o
the world. Its people live off of coffee ant
Its exports of coffee amount to millions o
dollars a year. A few years ago the coffe
trees In Java wore afflicted with a bacteria
disease , which destroyed every tree , am
the people had to plant anew. Our scientist
In such a case would bo able to report a
once as to what the trouble was and how I
should be cured.
"Wo want to experiment on fruit raisin
In Porto Rico nnd also make investigation
of the sugar Industry there. '
"Speaking of sugar , Mr. Secreraty ,
should think our new possessions would de
stroy the beet sugar Industry of the Unite
States. Cannot cane sugar be rained nior
cheaply than beet sugar ? "
"I pent ono of our experts to Porto RIc
to Investigate the cost of raising cano euga
there In order that I might consider tha
problem , " replied Secretary Wilson. "H
reported that the cost of producing a poum
of cano sugar was 2 cents. The cost o
producing a pound of beet sugar here I
3Vi cents , but our beet sugarmakere fin
that by feeding the refuse of the beets t
cows they can make enough out of the hi
iroduct to reduce the cost as low as that of j
ho cane sugar. "
